"Learn to be a good person and never come back here."Eddie's body was gently patted by a prison guard as he stepped out of the place where he had been for the past three years. Eddie's light brown eyes gazed far ahead where the pathway lay."Well, this is it, what I've been waiting for finally arrives. I can't wait to go back home and sell it immediately, I have to leave this town," murmured Eddie.His skinny body and beard-covered face made Eddie look quite shabby, even the white shirt he wore looked yellowed from wear.The sound of coins given by Eddie's fellow inmate for his fare home accompanied his steps toward the front gate of the prison. Eddie's heart raced as the gate was opened; he still felt like this was all just a dream.Three long years in prison for a mistake he never committed left Eddie devoid of hope to carry on with life. Everything that happened from three years ago, the night when he was apprehended by the police after aiding his friend Frank, now plays vividly i

Nearly half an hour of silence passed after Eddie and Jennifer were inside the car following their conversation at the police station. Jennifer seemed engrossed with her phone, while Eddie gazed outside, observing the luxurious settlements that were now becoming visible. Jennifer glanced at Eddie, then sighed heavily. "The Jehemian mansion is much bigger than the houses you've been admiring. When you see it, I'm sure your spirits will lift." "I'm not interested in all this luxury. I just don't know where to look, except at the scenery outside. I want to talk to you, but it seems you're more preoccupied with your social media followers," Eddie retorted. "Are you spying on what I'm doing? Damn it, Eddie. Just because you're out of prison doesn't mean you have to maintain your bad attitude! Come on, you understand the meaning of privacy, right?" Jennifer shot Eddie a stern look. Eddie smirked and glanced at Jennifer's phone screen, which displayed a photo of her in a bikini, posing so

The festive atmosphere of the party held at one of the renowned and most luxurious beach clubs was already evident from outside the entrance gate. The booming music and cheers carried by the wind reached Eddie's ears."Fascinating, I've never experienced a party like this before, just some dinner parties with wealthy people who barely even know me," Eddie said to Gilbert."It's a bit strange to hear that, considering you're a vice-director; many people should know you," Gilbert replied."It's not that easy, Gilbert. In fact, you could say, I just realized now, I'm rarely involved in company matters. Frank just used my name to fill that position and shifted the blame onto me. I only often deal with lawyers or things related to the law. I should have realized it from the beginning. I was always stuck on the kindness given by Frank's family; I was just a poor guy who then became close friends with Frank and finally got the chance to become a vice-director. Isn't that like a treasure for

Angela's bedroom door was roughly opened by Eddie. His hands were busy carrying Angela's body while kissing her lips. He was so passionate that he accidentally slammed Angela's body too hard onto the bed."Wait!" Angela stopped Eddie's attempt to touch her again. "I don't have any condoms. Can you buy them quickly? There's a store at the end of the street."Eddie's aroused expression turned disappointed, but he chose to comply with Angela's request. For him, the opportunity to sleep with a woman as beautiful as Angela was something to be seized."Wait, then, and do something that makes me crazy when I’m back." Eddie gave Angela a kiss on the lips and immediately left the room.Angela hurriedly got up from her bed and peeked at Eddie through her window. Just as the car started moving, Angela pressed a number on her phone and made a call."He's gone. You can send the money now, or I'll expose everything you've planned. Always remember who's protecting me, Frank!"Angela grinned widely a

A wide grin appeared on Eddie's face as Gilbert showed him a news headline, three hours after he arrived at home."Are you satisfied now? What's the next plan? The news of your death has spread, and I only need to hold a press conference and meetings with business associates under our father's umbrella. This is crazy, I feel like I'm being played by a mad convict!"Eddie chuckled, wincing in pain as his leg was being bandaged by the doctor. "I'll tell you once this doctor is done with my body. How much longer until all of this is over?""Almost there, Mr. Eddie, I'm truly amazed by the condition of your body, leaving only a few bruises, wounds, and the most remarkable thing is that your leg is just sprained, not broken. It's very rare, considering how bad the car you were in was wrecked as reported in the news. You're amazing.""Yeah, maybe this is all the effect of getting punched in prison so often, even several times I was hanged and hit alternately. I don't know how many times my
